Can I synchronize two pci boards - DIO-6527 and MIO6036E - via RTSI?

Thanks in advance. I'm interested in synchronizing a Analog PCI (MIO 6036E)and a Digital I/O board (DIO6527). But I am not sure if this is possible via RTSI. Can anybody give me some advice? Are there any Digital I/O boards which own a RTSI-interface?

Well, you can't do buffered pattern input with the 6527. You can only sample the digital lines one scan at a time through software. The speed of this is limited by the speed of the software.
Now, the MIO board already has a built in hardware trigger you can use to initiate an analog acquisition. You can also use your MIO card to "gate" the scan clock using one of the counters. (Only acquire scans while the gate signal is high, for example)
From what I gather, it seems you want to sample the AI and the DI with the same clock and be able to associate each analog sample with a corresponding digital sample. If you do need to do a buffered acquisition of digital patterns in addition to triggering an analog acquisition, then yes, you'll probabl
y want to switch to a 653x. Then you would be able to share the same clock between the two.
If I have misunderstood your application, then could you give me some more detail about what you would like to happen?

Synchronize two PCI Board for Analoge Output

Hi All
Has anyone a good example for synchronizing two MIO Boards over RTSI cable.
I found a lot examples to analoge input but nothing about analoge output.
Thanks

Hi Reto.
I posted to this once, but looks like it didn't make it. I checked the examples, and Ir eally didn't see anything that did what you wanted over the RTSI bus, so I made one. Check it out.

How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC

How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC. My wife and i each have our own iPods and iPhones but share one MAC.

What do you mean by synchronize; music, apps, calendars, email, etc? Do you two share the same Apple ID on all devices? An Apple ID can support up to 5 computers and many iDevices.
I hope this helps.

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? simultaneously?

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? I just bought a second airport so I could listen to itunes & Pandora on my stereo. My problem is that I haven't been able to connect to both airports at once. I want to listen to the stereo (one airport) while using internet which is connected to a separate airport. Unfortunately, the stereo and ethernet cables are not close by which is why I bought the second airport.

You can run both simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the base station that will be used for streaming as a wireless client.
I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
After the reset has completed, plug the AXn into power, and then, verify from the iMac that this network shows up in the list of networks under the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar.
Be sure to first switch the wireless network to the AirPort that will be used for streaming. Note: You will temporarily lose the Internet connection from your "main" AirPort. Then, run the AirPort Utility. The Utility should now find the streaming AXn. If not, use the Utility's "Configure Other" option under the File menu option in the Utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the Address and "public" for the Password.
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <existing "main" AirPort's wireless network>
Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup >Music
Enable AirPlay (checked)
iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
Verify Password: (optional)
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

I can not use two PCI-1407 cards together.Why?

When I installed two PCI-1407 cards on the same computer, I can find one card in the M&A Explorer,and that card can work well.But another card is invisible in the M&A Explorer.I can find the card in the source manager of windows 2000.I can't find the reason.Give me a hand,please.

If either of the PCI-1407 cards is rev E or higher, then you need to have NI-IMAQ 2.5.1 or higher installed. You can find the revision by looking at the assembly number on the card, 184895x-01, where x is the revision. Otherwise, I would troubleshoot this like any other NI PCI card. Make sure you have the latest version of the NI-IMAQ driver. Try the cards in multiple slots and in multiple computers if feasible. Does each card work fine when installed by itself? Is there anything unusual about this computer (industrial PC, unusual chipset, etc)? Narrow down the problem to one particular card, slot, or computer. You can also try updatin
g to the latest win2k service pack.

Can PE3 synchronize two video sources for post edit AB roll?

In PE3, is there a way to synchronize two digital video files (AVI) to create a AB roll type post edit. My two captured video files seem to have different frame speeds or frame durations. How do I align and frame match 2 video sources? The situation is a 2 camera shoot. How to best create an AB roll edit of the 2 videos sources with audio from one video file as the common element?

Wes,
Armed with Steve's article, you should be able to do what you want.
I've got a question, and maybe a suggestion to address the frame-rate problem early on, to help solve that problem without a lot of fiddeling. What are the two frame-rates? G-Spot will tell you exactly, if you can not find this in Properties. If the source files are DV-AVI, they should be of the exact same frame-rate to begin with, but if one is off a bit, I'd convert the non-DVD spec one to match. First place I'd try this would be to simply Interpret Footage in the Project Panel. If that does not work, then Windows Movie Maker can do this for you, or you can use other conversion tools to get them to match. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it's not freeware. Getting the two sources into perfect sync in the beginning will go a very long way to achieving success.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Caveat] I do not have PE3, only PE4, but I think that this will apply to your version.
[Edit] After reading Steve's article, the one thing that I would do (after establishing sync) to assist me in editing multi-camera would be to set the Video Track Display to show all "frames" and the expand the height of each of the two Video Tracks (VT's), so that they occupy most of the vertical real estate in the Timeline. Then, I'd zoom in on the horizontal display of the Timeline, so that I could see fairly clearly, each frame. This basically makes the Timeline like a detailed Sceneline, but keeps you in Timeline Mode. Because you do not have the Multi-camera Mode that PrPro does, you will not be getting anything but your upper Video Track footage in the Program Monitor. You will be viewing the footage ON the Timeline. This WILL necessitate a lot of horizontal scrolling on the Timeline, but is doable. Then, when you wish to be using the footage from VT1, you will cut out (Sissors Tool) the overlaying footage from VT2. I'd personally arrange my main footage (like the main Audio Track in Steve's article) on VT1, and my "cutaway" camera's footage on VT2. As VT2 takes prescedence over VT1, you can leave VT1's footage pretty much alone, and just cut the footage on VT2. I would use Cross-dissolves on the Head and Tail of the the "cut" Clips on VT2. Remember that if you use these, you will want to make sure that the cut has come where you want the scene on VT2 to absolutely start, or end. The Duration of the Cross-dissolves will determine when the scene either becomes 100% visible (Head), or 100% invisible (Tail). Also, remember that Dip-to-Black on VT2 takes the image on VT1 to black, hence my use of Cross-dissolves.
Using this method, also allows one to do a bit of nudging of the Clips (cut from the original) on VT2, to compensate from any loss of sync. Though you could possibly use this to adjust for the differences in framerate, I'd still try to get the footage as exact, as is possible, to start - a lot less work that way. Also, once the "holes" have been cut into the footage on VT2, you can start to use the Program Monitor much more.
As Steve points out, PrPro makes it easier by locking Tracks and a Multi-camera dual monitor, when in Multi-camera Mode.
This was exactly how we did it with film, except that we had to splice in black leader, where the cuts were made, and could not keep our VT1 footage intact, as we can with an NLE and video. Since we were dealing with sprocket holes, we had spiked gears (sprockets) on a "sync block" and once we'd get the alignment right, would physically flip down a guide, that would "lock" the film to those two rolls of film to the sync block. Even though it sounds tough, when you read it, it's really not, and so very much easier, than it was with film.

How can I Synchronize two counters in CVI using NI-DAQmx

Hi, I am new to NI-DAQmx, and I would like to program counting of random digital pulses using two counters in LabWindowsCVI and a PCI6229 multifunction card. I have the evaluation copy for CVI 7.1
I would like to set counter0, to count pulses from the 10MHz clock, to generate a single pulse (duration in the few ms timescale), that will gate counter1 in the same card.
When I try to route the output from counter0 to the gate of counter1 I get an error code
(-89137, "The specified route can not be satisfied because it requires resources that are currently in use by another route").
How can one do the equivalent of the "Select_Signal()" in the traditional NI-DAQ?"
I have also a hard time seting the counter0 to actually count a number of clock cycles from the 10 MHz clock.
What is the NI-DAQmx equivalent of the function "GPCTR_Change_Parameter()" to program a counter to count a predefined number of clock cycles?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Fundadero

Hi Fundadero-
It sounds like you're programming for an M Series card with counter operations and need a bit of help with DAQmx functions.
In order to count edges of the 10MHz reference clock you will need to use a format similar to that found in the CVI shipping example "CntDigEv.prj." This is found in the NI Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples) under Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx>>Counter Measurements>>Count Digital Events. In order to measure pulses from a source rather than the default input terminal (ctrXsource where X is the counter number), you will need to use the function DAQmxSetCICountEdgesTerm(taskhandle char[] counter, char source terminal) as follows:
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateCICountEdgesChan(taskHandle,chan,"",edge,initialCount,countDirection));
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxSetCICountEdgesTerm(taskHandle, "/Dev2/Ctr0", "/Dev2/10MHzRefClock"));
What type of operation are you trying to perform on counter 1? The strategy for routing signals will change based on this. If you're trying to perform gated counting you can specify the the task similarly as above and use the terminal "/DevN/Ctr0InternalOutput" as before. If you are trying to perform frequency measurement you will need to use the DAQmxGetCIFreqTerm function.
Other channel properties are listed conveniently in the NI-DAQmx C Reference Help found at Start>>Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ on your start menu. A search for "channel properties list" returns this list.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Two PCIe-6537 read error and blue screen of death

Hi all
I am reading two PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sample rate acquiring all 32 lines each with externally supplied clock and external trigger.
When operating separately, no problem, but when two are read I get
a) on average of 25% of time error reading the data (time out error but happening before the actually time set by timeout, i.e. immediately after trigger) and
b) a blue screen of death after 1h or so of constant operation.
I have a feeling a) and b) are related and LV causes the system crash with so many errors. NI support seems to think otherwise.
I am using Dell Studio XPS 8100 and I have done all the firmware updates for the Chipsets etc. It has
not changed anything.
Changing single line to whole port reading does not change anything.
Any ideas what to try else?

Hello Pawel,
I have looked over the service request you mentioned about acquiring 2 PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sampling rate on all 32 lines. In order to narrow down this issue, I think it would be best to try only acquire from both cards without doing any triggerring etc. Also when performing this test, I would only want to acquire from 8 channels on both cards to see if this reproduces it. If this works, we can slowly add more elements to narrow down what the issue is and make us more effective to solve the problem.
I also wanted to ask if you have tried this setup on another machine and if it worked.
Along with this, have you tried to create two Digital Tasks in MAX and try to acquire for the same amount of time to see if the issue reoccurs here? This would tell us if this problem is connected to the driver/computer or LabVIEW.

Recently can't play music samples on Amazon France and Germany via their usual 'Listen to all' button. Can only play samples individually. Message says roughly RealPlayer not installed on my naigator, but I've changed nothing and have RealPlayer on my PC

Recently can't play music samples on Amazon France (and Germany, though they've now gone over to Flash, which seems to have fixed it after (re)installing Flash Player) via their usual 'Listen to all' button. Can only play samples individually. Message says roughly RealPlayer not installed on my navigator (see box below), but I've changed nothing and have always had RealPlayer on my PC at least. The 'Aid' page is useless in that it does not provide any links to sites from which one could download whatever it is Amazon Fr thinks one now needs.

Hello Neil.
It has been reported by other uses that RealPlayer is having some compatibility problems with Firefox. I believe this is mostly notorious with RealPlayer Plugin Record Plugin, but it may be the same thing here. Please contact RealPlayer developers for support.

How to synchronize two PCI-6602 via RTSI for semi-period counting of four signals?

Hello,
I try to measure 4 PWM signals. For that, I created 4 tasks (newest DAQmx), each with semi-period measuring one signal.
I want to use DMA so I have two 6602 for each two signals.
The task aquire a finite number of samples.
This works fine when starting the tasks subsequently.
Now I want to start the tasks via a trigger on the RTSI bus.
But I have no idea how to get this done.
I use the MX drivers for the first time an find it very difficult to get through the help files.
I looked at many examples but did not find a solution.
Most of the time my experiments end with an error message saying that the property is not applicable to this task, or s.th.similar.
Ans sometimes, when there seems to be a trigger defined, the task will not wait for the trigger and time out.
Is the anybody who can help me out of this?
Maybe a little sample program?
I program in CVI.
Many Thanks
Michael.

How can I synchronize two iTunes Libraries on two platforms (Windows & Mac)

I have a MacBook running both Windows XP Pro (Boot Camp) and Mac OS 10.4.9 and I have installed iTunes on both platforms. I have my iTunes Library and songs on an external drive (which I can "see" in Windows via MacDrive), and which I wish to keep in place to save space on my MacBook. Trouble is I cannot get my Windows iTunes to recognize the song files on my Maxtor external drive, even when I point iTunes to these files in the "Advanced" pane of Preferences.
How can I utilize the one song folder by synchronizing the two sets of iTunes so I can listen to music on whichever platform I happen to be working on?
I have tried placing an alias of the iTunes song folder in my iTunes folder in "My Music" in Windows but this does not work.

I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?
